B. stepped out of the train yesterday morning, took a deep breath and thought, “Ahhh…autumn.”
Actually, it was probably a high of about 90+ degrees yesterday, but for Dallas on an early September morning, it was a pretty unusual start to the day. Relatively cool, dry and clear, the air crisp with the promise of autumn just around the corner. It’s my second favorite time of year, right after spring, and really, what’s not to like? Cool weather means I can break out my favorite clothes, favorite coats, favorite shoes; I have a bigger wardrobe of handbags to choose from, since I tend to gravitate towards the heavier, darker, heftier purses and totes come October; I love the fall fashions that were introduced way back in the gloom of February but which are now actually seasonally appropriate to wear; and yes, I love being able to slather on
the richest lotions and experiment with new cosmetics without having to worry about it sliding off my skin mid-morning.
Which brings me to my new favorite body lotion, Votre Vu’s Tarte d’Amande Souffle Riche Pour Le Corps, or in layman’s terms, lotion that smells like almond pie. I’ve become a big fan of Votre Vu products, including their hand lotion/lip balm combo, and with this body cream I remain impressed with their skincare and body care product lines. It comes with a little white spatula, although I didn’t notice it until I’d already scooped out a small handful and rubbed and rubbed and rubbed it into my slightly parchy skin, all over my arms and elbows and legs and even the bottom of my feet. I probably didn’t need to rub it in that intensely, but the fragrance is so dreamy without being cloying or irritating; even B. liked it, and he’s a hard man to please when it comes to aromas emanating from my beauty products. The spatula ended up being unused, as I love dipping my fingers into the little tub and applying the lotion directly onto my skin. Its ultra-light texture belies its richness, and when I woke up in the morning my skin still felt hydrated and smelled so lovely.
Does it really smell like almond pie? I don’t know, as I’ve never actually had almond pie before, but when I first used it, B. immediately said, “I smell pie.” And you know, when that’s coming from a man, you know that’s a good thing. Slip on the sexy lingerie, and prepare to be dessert.

Hi! My name is Traci and I am a Brand Ambassaor for Votre Vu. I couldn't agree with you more about how wonderful this cream is. I think of cupcakes everytime I use it (mainly because I use almond vs vanilla in my icing) and I love your dessert suggestion.
If you or any of your readers would like some complementary skin care and body care samples, please let know. Once you try our beautiful, afforable products, you will understand just why the French are renowed for fabulous lotions.

A Votre Sante!

Dear Traci, merci for your comment and your generous offer! Yeah, this is my favorite lotion of all that Votre Vu products I've tried. And the fact that it's French is — pardon the pun — icing on the pie.
Salut,
Marjorie
